“The Lesson” Review

White folks crazy. Indeed, someone who would pay $1,195 for a little toy sailboat must be nuts, especially in 1972 money. But there is a reason why that sailboat is for sale. It is there because somebody will probably buy it. And this was Miss Moore’s lesson to the kids from a poor neighborhood. She was convinced that income was distributed improperly and that it should be probably redistributed properly, which is to say, more equally. The kids don’t really get her point, except for Sugar, who seems the only who gets what “equal piece of the pie” means. FAO Schwartz is a real store that was established in 1862 that specializes in exclusive toys. It still exists. However, today its most expensive toy is $299 for a large teddy bear. It looks like things have changed, after all.
